BOARD OF THE XVIII UISPP CONGRESS: François Djindjian, François Giligny, Laurent Costa, Pascal Depaepe, Katherine Gruel, Lioudmila Iakovleva, Anne-Marie Moigne, Sandrine Robert Foreword to the XVIII UISPP Congress Proceedings UISPP has a long history, originating in 1865 in the International Congress of Prehistoric Anthropology and Archaeology (CIAAP). This organisation ran until 1931 when UISPP was founded in Bern. In 1955, UISPP became a member of the International Council of Philosophy and Human Sciences, a non-governmental organisation within UNESCO. UISPP has a structure of more than thirty scientific commissions which form a very representative network of worldwide specialists in prehistory and protohistory. The commissions cover all archaeological specialisms: historiography; archaeological methods and theory; material culture by period (Palaeolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age) and by continents (Europe, Asia, Africa, Pacific, America); palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimatology; archaeology in specific environments (mountain, desert, steppe, tropical); archaeometry; art and culture; technology and economy; biological anthropology; funerary archaeology; archaeology and society. The UISPP XVIII World Congress of 2018 was hosted in Paris by the University Paris 1 Panthéon- Sorbonne with the strong support of all French institutions related to archaeology. It featured 122 sessions, and over 1800 papers were delivered by scientists from almost 60 countries and from all continents. The proceedings published in this series, but also in issues of specialised scientific journals, will remain as the most important legacy of the congress. L’UISPP a une longue histoire, à partir de 1865, avec le Congrès International d’Anthropologie et d’Archéologie Préhistorique (C.I.A.A.P.), jusqu’en 1931, date de la Fondation à Berne de l’UISPP. En 1955, l’UISPP est devenu membre du Conseil International de philosophie et de Sciences humaines, associée à l’UNESCO. L’UISPP repose sur plus de trente commissions scientifiques qui représentent un réseau représentatif des spécialistes mondiaux de la préhistoire et de la protohistoire, couvrant toutes les spécialités de l’archéologie : historiographie, théorie et méthodes de l’archéologie ; Culture matérielle par période (Paléolithique, néolithique, âge du bronze, âge du fer) et par continents (Europe, Asie, Afrique, Pacifique, Amérique), paléoenvironnement et paléoclimatologie ; Archéologie dans des environnements spécifiques (montagne, désert, steppes, zone tropicale), archéométrie ; Art et culture ; Technologie et économie ; anthropologie biologique ; archéologie funéraire ; archéologie et sociétés. Le XVIII° Congrès mondial de l’UISPP en 2018, accueilli à Paris en France par l’université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et avec le soutien de toutes les institutions françaises liées à l’archéologie, comportait 122 sessions, plus de 1800 communications de scientifiques venus de près de 60 pays et de tous les continents. Les actes du congrès, édités par l’UISPP comme dans des numéros spéciaux de revues scientifiques spécialisées, constitueront un des résultats les plus importants du Congrès.
